It is very likely that every person who is into crossdressers or has been on a TS date is familiar with this show. But RuPaul’s Drag Race is much more than that. This widely popular reality TV series has been airing for nine seasons. Its host is continuously on a lookout for America's next drag superstar, and while doing so, he acts as a judge but also offers guidance to contestants for each challenge. Every episode usually consists of a mini-challenge, the primary challenge, a runway walk, the judging panel, and the elimination round. Mini-challenges These mainly include something silly like being photographed while jumping on a trampoline, or insulting other queens for comedic effect. The winner of a mini-challenge has the advantage in the main duel. Main challenges The contestants have to lipsync, pose for the camera, perform humorously or design their outfits. Challenge winners receive many valuable prizes, branded clothes, expensive beauty products, cruises, and vacations. Judges Michelle Visage, Ross Mathews, and Carson Kressley have been the staple judges alongside RuPaul from the seventh season. Before the grand finale, chief judges are joined by two celebrity guest judges each week. Some of the stars who have been on the show are Paula Abdul, Pamela Anderson, Ariana Grande, Neil Patrick Harris, Kathy Griffin, Debbie Harry, Khloé Kardashian, Adam Lambert, Demi Lovato, and Rose McGowan, just to mention a few. Winners Until now there have been nine seasons, and therefore nine winners - BeBe Zahara Benet, Tyra Sanchez, Raja, Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon, Bianca Del Rio, Violet Chachki, Bob the Drag Queen and Sasha Velour. On February 16, VH1 announced that the tenth season of Drag Race would premiere on March 22. Awards This show is not only a big hit in the US but also in Australia, Canada, UK, The Netherlands, and Israel. Two years ago, RuPaul received an Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. RuPaul’s baby has also been nominated for 4 Critics' Choice Television Award including Best Reality Series – Competition and Best Reality Show Host and last year it won Creative Arts Emmy Awards for Outstanding Host of a Variety, as well as for Outstanding Costumes and Picture Editing.
